Abu Mahdurah
(RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) himself taught me the
call to prayer (adhan). He asked me to pronounce: Allah is most great. Allah is
most great. Allah is most great. Allah is most great: I testify that there is
no god but Allah. I testify that there is no god but Allah; I testify that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), I testify that Muhammad
is Messenger of Allah. Then repeat and raise your voice; I testify that there is
no god but Allah, I testify that there is no god but Allah ; I testify that
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him); I testify that Muhammad
is the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him); come to prayer, come to prayer;
come to salvation, come to salvation; Allah is most great. Allah is most great;
there is no god but Allah.

About
Supplications
Qatada asked
Anas (R.A) which Supplication Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) frequently
made. He said: The supplication that he (the Prophet made very frequently is
this:" O Allah, grant us the good in this world and the good in the
Hereafter and save us from the torment of Hell-Fire." He (Qatada) said that
whenever Anas had to supplicate he made this very supplication, and whenever he
(intended) to make another supplication he (inserted) this very supplication in
that.

Muslim, Book 48, Hadith 36)
About
Entering Paradise
It has been
narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (R.A) that the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) said: God laughs at the two men both of whom will enter
Paradise (though) one of them kills the other. They said: Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him), how is it? He said: One of them fights in the way of
Allah, the Almighty and Exalted. and dies a martyr. Then God turns in mercy to
the murderer who embraces Islam, fights in the way of Allah, the Almighty and
Exalted, and dies a martyr.

Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 188)
About
Falsehood
Abdullah bin
Mas’ud (RA) reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying:
Avoid falsehood, for falsehood leads to wickedness, and wickedness to hell; and
if a man continues to speak falsehood and makes falsehood his object, he will
be recorded in Allah’s presence as a great liar. And adhere to truth, for truth
leads to good deeds, and good deeds lead to paradise. If a man continues to
speak the truth and makes truth his object, he will be recorded in Allah’s
presence as eminently truthful.

and such (as it is too late)."

Best of People

amongst persons one who has double face. He comes with one face to them and
with the other face to the others.
